The words brought the room to a standstill. Everyone fell silent and stared at Qin An in surprise.
No one knew why Qin An had brought up his position now. Only he knew that this might be an opportunity to find the Sage Manifestation Remains.
He had come all this way, only for the Azure Cloud Daoist Temple to refuse to see him. He had planned to return and search elsewhere for the final piece of the Sage Manifestation Remains.
But something unexpected had happened. Another man had arrived—and he was Li Ruofeng's junior brother.
Since this was an unexpected turn, Qin An naturally wanted to see whether it could lead him to the final piece of the Sage Manifestation Remains.
If it did, he could spare himself the trouble of searching for another opportunity.
If it did not, he could simply let it go.

Li Ruofeng looked faintly surprised, but quickly composed himself.
Qin An's position was no secret to him. He knew that if Qin An pressed the argument he had just made, he could not refuse.
The burly Lin Ruoyun, meanwhile, frowned.
"People from the Evil Extermination Division can indeed oversee Martial World factions."
Lin Ruoyun sneered. "But this is an internal matter of the Azure Cloud Daoist Temple. I'm afraid you, as an Evil Extermination Division Member, have no right to involve yourself."
"The Azure Cloud Daoist Temple paid a terrible price for this world. Even the Chief Director would not overstep while the temple has broken no laws of the Great Qian Kingdom."
His meaning was clear: Qin An had no standing to interfere. Lin Ruoyun had even invoked the Chief Director to pressure him.
Qin An did not answer him. Instead, he looked toward Li Ruofeng
